"Steel is forged in fire"
We will always have new targets of invasion and attacks because the end game here is to keep our over-budgeted military active and "combat ready". Having a bunch of generals and soldiers essentially sit around only talking about military strategy and action makes people in charge fear of having no practical experience and when war comes, they will be unprepared for a real fight. So every now and then, we need to create a few body bags and test our new bombs to make sure we're up to snuff.
This is the hard cynical truth of the matter.
